Born and raised less than a quarter mile from The Noiseless factory in Middletown, CT. I've fought with the why. Why do I like typewriters when I always was interested in 'tech'. I guess for their day, they were high tech. I've acquiesced that for me the "Rube Goldberg" nature of complex mechanics is the main draw.
